Wondering Geraldton and the Flats in Perth style satire
A fragmented, satirical ramble poses questions about public policy and society in Geraldton and Western Australia. It mocks housing provision, single men in Greenough Flats, female mobility, public order, transport, and prohibition while probing local funds and social issues.
A Professional Secret in a Pocketed Burglary Tale
A fragmentary humor piece depicts a burglar startled by an American girl who rises with a revolver. The girl’s fearless assertion ends the intrusion swiftly and the would-be thief retreats, leaving the room silent. A poet narrator muses on fame and beard length as a backdrop.
